PLATTE. Neb., Nov. S.-To thaEditor of The Bee: Now that the politicalcampaign Is over I would suggest that ThsBe. Inaugurate a campaign for the development of ths resources of the state, andthat In such a campaign let It not be forgotten that right here In Lincoln county,In the Platte valley, we have a districtthat will rival the famous Greeley district In the production of sugar beets andalfalfa, and that all we need to make thisdistrict as productive as tha Greeley district Is an equally numerous and Intelligent farming population to utl'Jse the land.T. C. PATTERSON.The suggestion Is a good one and TheBee will be glad to second every legitimate effort to develop Nebraska's resources and build tip the state lu anypart of it by the inauguration of new enterprises or the attraction of new population. The expansion of the sugar beetindustry Is one of the promising fields ofNebraska agriculture. Nebraska aloneconsumes many times the amount ofsugar which is produced by the beetsngar factories already in operation, andthoro Is no good reason whatever whythe home market should not be fullysupplied by home production.Nebraska is essentially a food-producingstate. We have built up a largemeat packing industry at South Omahawhich has been of untold benefit to thestock-raisers and stock-feeders who market their cattle at this point. This Industry, however, is capable of attainingmuch larger dimensions and Is sure togrow with tho utilization of the byproducts in subsidiary establishments.It devolves upon the farmers and stockmen of the state to co-operate with thocaptains of this great industry and contribute tangible aid by giving the homemarket preference over its competitors.Of even greater importance to Nebraska Is its production of cereals aftervarious degrees of transformation, whichgo to feed the world. The work of milling and transforming the wheat andcorn and oats into prepared food products can be done Just as well in Nebraska as at eastern points. Omaha isnow engaged in a vigorous campaign forthe creation of a grain market that willhold a place in time with the cattle market already established. With the grainmarket must necessarily come mills andfactories that will consume a large partof the grain and give a steady home demand to our own farming community.The creation of a home market atOmaha would not interfere in any unfavorable way with the milling industries at interior points of the state, butif anything would help them in the longrun. Every citizen of Nebraska interested in its growth and prosperity shouldbe Interested In the success of this significant projectLet the campaign for the developmentof Nebraska's resources begin at onceand never flag. -tSECRETARY BAr$ UTATEMERVThe secretary of state has done wellin promptly giving to the country astatement of the reasons which Impelledthis government to take the .course ithas in "fegard to Panama. Not onlywas there opportunity for misjudgingthe action of tho United States in therecognition of Panama as a de factostate, but the government was chargedwith having countenanced and fosteredthe revolutionary movement which if itwere a fact would be a reproach tothis nation of the gravest character.The essential point In the statementof Becretary Hay. is that the UnitedStates has a treaty obligation in regardto the Isthmus of Panama which it wasbound to observe In the Interest of theworld's commerce. Under this convention our government was required topreserve the neutrality of the Isthmusand maintain free transit across itThis authority has been exercised onseveral occasions and under It navalvessels were ordered to Colon and Panama when the present revolution wasproclaimed. There is no qnestion as tothe action of our government in thisrespect being entirely proper and legitimate. It was necessary both in compliance with the treaty and for the safeguarding of American Interests. ' As thesecretary of state says, the considerations which controlled at the time thetreaty was made have become moreimportant In every year since and "ouracquisition of Hawaii and the Philippines has given them a greatly enhanced value. The control In the interest of commerce and traffic of the wholecivilised world of the means of undisturbed transit across the Isthmus ofPanama has become of transcendant importance to the United States." This isas fully realized by other governmentsas by our own.The secession of Panama and the organization of a new government therewill not affect the treaty. The obligation of the United, States in regard tofree transit on the isthmus remains."As long as the isthmus endures," saysSecretary Hay, "the great geographicalfact keeps alive the solemn compactwhich binds the holders of the territoryto grant us freedom of transit and bindsus In return to safeguard for the isthmus and the world the exercise of thatInestimable privilege." Of course thereIs not the least danger of the people ofPanama not accepting the conditions ofthe treaty. They have already announced through their representativesIn the provisional government that theydo so and there will be no change fromthis, it can confidently be predicted,when the new state Is fully organized.They are Intensely" anxious that thecanal shall be built, they know that itcan be constructed only by the UnitedStates and they will put no obstacle inthe way of the great enterprise beingundertaken by this country.In regard to ths recognition of theIndependence of Panama, Secretary Haystates that it has the warrant of allour precedents and principles. Therewas no opposition to the revolutionarymovement The parent state did nothing to repress or Interfere with it. Itwas effected without any conflict. Thefew Colombian troops sent to the isth-mua withdrew, except those that Joined Jthe revolutionists. In these circumstances our government was fully Justilled in recognizing the provisional governmcnt and instructing our consuls toenter Into relations with it We do notbelieve that any trouble will grow outof this action on the part of our goveminent but anticipate on the contrarythat a permanent government will bepeaceably established In Panama assoon as It is possible to do so and thatIt will be assured the protection andsupport of the United States.ANOTHER STATEHOOD TASOLE.There Is a new tangle In regard to theadmission of the territories to statehoodwhich it is apprehended may render thesituation more perplexing than it hasbeen. This Is due to an issue betweenNew Mexico and Arizona. The formerhas practically concluded, says a Washington dispatch, that It will stand amuch better chance for statehood byagreeing to the absorption of Arizona.This h.is caused indignation among thecitizens of Arizona, who feel that theyhad better wait for years than consentto such a proposition. The delegatefrom New Mexico, who is now in Washington, has announced' that anotherstatehood bill would be introduced forhis territory and that while he wouldvery much like to have New Mexicoseparately admitted, he would gladly accept the annexation of Arizona if hecould get his bill through in no otherway. That the people of Arizona willmost vigorously oppose any such proposition is certain and it Is quite probablethat they will have the support of thedemocrats in congress.The effect of such a contest will verylikely be to further postpone action' onthe statehood question, though it is possible that there may be legislation forthe admission of Oklahoma. It is statedthat Speaker Cannon will be no morefriendly to statehood than was his predecessor, in which case the question Ispretty sure not to be acted upon at thecoming session, since there is no reasonto expect that the opposition In the senate will be less determined than In thelast congress. It Is quite safe to predictthat the statehood matter will not bedisposed of until after the presidentialelection.the AOm or fame.Bearing upon the discussion of the ageat Which men have accomplished substantial achievements that entitle themto recognition as factors in contemporary progress, statistics compiled Inconnection with the new edition of thehandy, volume called "Who's Who inAmerica," offers some Interesting Information. We are becoming so accustomed to hearing It said that the youngmen are the men who do things in tbesotwentieth century days that the Impression is too apt to prevail that experiencegained only with age cuts no figure inlasting fame.Out of the 15,204 men mentioned inthis biographical compendium 12,888 responded to Inquiries relating to theirbirth. Of course, all of these men arenot to be termed famous, but all of themhave done something to distinguishthemselves above the common crowd.It turns out that of those whose biographies have been considered worthwhile printing only 146 are less than. 30years of age and only 1,740 more are under 40 years of age, as against over 11,-000 who are upwards of 40 years. Theeditor calls attention to the fact that because the great majority of the menhaving biographical mention are persons of mature age does not prove thatthey were not of prominence when theywere much younger, many of them having laid the foundation for their presentpositions by some notable work decadesago. ,The fact remains that It takes time toacquire, build op and develop the faculties that make for distinction In any lineof trade or profession, and that the Infant prodigy is the rare exception to therule. As the editor of this compilationaptly says, "The day of the young manis here, but the day of the mature man,even of the old man, is not past."the law fob police officers.Several Instances of comparatively recent occurrence In Omaha la which police officers have been criticised for. resorting too freely to the use of their firearms In the apprehension of criminalsgive a local Interest to a decision justrendered by the supreme court of Pennsylvania, refusing to reopen a case Inwhich a policeman was convicted formanslaughter. In this particular Instance a member of the police force inthe town of Somerset 'fired a fatal bulletat a man whom he undertook to arrestfor burglary when the latter refused tobait at the call to do so. 'The synopsis of the opinion gives it asthe ruling of the court that an olllcer Isnot bound to retreat when be is attackedor when a criminal resists him, but thathe has no right to kill merely becausethe Individual whose arrest Is desiredtakes to his heels in an effort to escape.Commenting on the decision a writer, inan eastern paper says that there can beno question of the soundness of this Interpretation of the law, because to allowa police officer, or any peace officer, evenwith a warrant In bis possession, toshoot and kill the person sought to bearrested merely because be flees to avoidarrest would be to vest the officer withthe right to Inflict the death penaltywithout trial of the accused or suspectedparty.It might be added that any other rulewould leave It to the arbitrary whim ofa police officer to shoot down defenselesspeople on mere suspicion that they weredefying his authority and make the police officer a lawless autocrat with theUvea of the whole community dependingupon his pleasure. Policemen often haveaggravated cases to deal with, but theyshould learn the lesson thoroughly thatthey are not themselves to commit crimeunder pretense of suppresdlng crime, andthat the individual, even though subjectto the penalties of the law, has rightswhich the officer of the law Is bound torespectlMroHTED COKTRACT LABOR.Forty Welsh miners Imported undercontract by the Ellsworth Mining company of Pennsylvania have been ordereddeported. They will be returned at theexpense of the steamship company thatbrought them over, although presumably the company was ignorant of thofact that they were under contract toperform lnlor In this country. Theguilty mining compuny escapes all penalty for its offense against the law. Inreference to this the Philadelphia Record remarks that according to the actof congress corporations importing laborers shall pay a fine of $1,000 In eachcase. "But of any intention to prosecutethe Ellsworth company there is no evidence. The only sufferers by the transaction are the deceived miners and theinnocent transportation company. Thismanner of administering the contract labor law Is well calculated to relieve Itsviolators of any apprehension of the consequences."There Is no more important feature ofthe law than that which provides a penalty for Importing contract labor and itought to bo rigidly enforced. This matter is now in the hands of the commlssioner of the bureau of corporations Inthe Department of Commerce and weare not disposed to believe that he willneglect the duty which the law Imposes,The case of the Imported Welsh minersappears to be a peculiarly flagrant oneand there seems to be no good reasonwhy the mining company should not beprosecuted and made to bear Its Justshare of punishment for a plain violation of the law, which there can be nodoubt It was fully aware of when it contracted with the alien labor.ILLITERATE IMMIGRANTS.Much Is said, by the antl-immlgratlon-ists, as to the great number of Illiterates who come to this country, but asmatter of fact when the children under14 years of age are deducted the proportion of Illiterates is not great. Thus outof 857,000 Immigrants who came to theUnited States in the steerage of oceanships during the fiscal year ending withlast June, only about 70,000 or 77,000were settled Illiterates, or about 0 percent This is only a little worse, observes the Cleveland Leader, than theshowing made by the latest censusamong the residents of this country.xsor are the Immigrants of recentyears the chief offenders in respect toilliteracy, says that paper. "Nearly4,000,000 out of 6,180,000 Illiterates overthe age of 10 years were native born.There are wide regions in this countryin which the proportion of illiteratesamong the native born Is greater thanit is among the immigrants of the lastfiscal year. Recent immigrants are notso terribly initerato as they have beenpictured. The country will not beswamped by their lack, of education."It would be well If those who professso much alarm at the number of Illiterates Mho come to this country wouldlook more closely into the facts.Word comes from one of the interiorcounties of the state that the newcounty commissioner law passed by thelast Nebraska legislature may have torun the gauntlet of the courts throughthe refusal of an outgoing commissioner to recognize its constitutionalityand yield to his successor elected underIts provisions, which require a votethroughout the entire county Instead ofby districts as formerly. The lawaffects all the counties that have beendistricted for representation in theircounty boards and Its rejection by thecourts would probably make a notabledifference in the control of the affairsof more than one county. It goes without saying that the law Is to be considered good until declared void by competent authority.If Spain does not want to participatein the Louisiana Purchase expositionbecause It Is an American enterprise, ItIs at perfect liberty to refuse to do so.The Invitation, however, Is hardly aproper pretext for the attack upon theUnited States In the Spanish Parliament although many Spaniards mayharbor a feeling of resentment growingout of the late Spanish-American war.If some one In our own congress shouldgive a similar exhibition of spleenagainst Spain, we would soon have aformal protestAccording to the Financial Chroniclethe net earnings of the American railroads for the eight months previous toSeptember show an increase of 14 percent and the gross earnings an increaseof 15 per cent If any other businesscould make an exhibit of profit equal tothis it would consider Itself In remarkably fine condition and would hardlyfeel required to resort to retrenchmentor the discharge of employes.It is not fair to put labor leaders generally into the Sam Parks class anymore than It would be to put all thebankers Into the embezzler brigade because an occasional banker goes wrong.Give the honest and intelligent laborleader the same credit for sincerity asthe enterpritdng employer so long as heIs engaged in working for the Improvement of his own people.Lock Pleasaat, fleas.Portland Oregonlan.If Canada ever expects to become a partof tha United States it will have to gutgood natured.

Their shoes and neckties coetmore each year than did the entire wardrobe of their grandfathers. They feel asense of degradation In small beginningsand plodding, and they wait for successready made to come to them.

He cannot be president of abank or judge of a court the first week hela from school, and he feels, like thefamous Ell Pussley, that he has "nochance."EXTRAVAGANCE AT FIJIERAW,Rot a Cheerful Babject, bat It PointsMoral.Chicago Chronicle.Undoubtedly there la no mora useless.wasteful and foolish form of extravagancethan that which takes the form of expensive funerals. Tha expenditure of moneyfor sllver-trlmmed coffins, long lines ofcarriages and other outward evidences ofgrief Is a form of ostentation which oftentaxes the resources of ths survivors andIn many cases actually Impoverishes them.It la sometimes urged in defense of thiskind of extravagance that It Is a manifestation of affection and respect for ths deceased. Tha plea Is un veracious In mostcases. Mortuary profusion la, in moat instances, prompted by an unworthy desireto be "as good as anybody else. It is afear of neighborhood comment which impels many a family of moderate clrcumstanoes to order a funeral suitable ifsuitable at an for a millionaire.Tha dread of , having someone sneer ata cheap funeral" has run Into debt people who would otherwise be In comfortable circumstances. Terror of uncharitable gossip has enriched ths undertakersand rendered otherwise sensible peopleabject alavea of a bad custom.It Is encouraging to note Instances of arevolt against this evil conventionality.Prof. Max Wright of Leland Stanford university, who was buried at Grand Rapids,Mich., not long ago, left Instructions thathe should be Interred In a plain pine boxcoating $2, and that the $200 which wouldordinarily have been spent for his funeralahould be distributed among the poor.Dr. Qlfford of Kokomo, In'd., providedin his will that he should be buried atnight In a cheap coffin, with no attendantsave tha undertaker.Cremation, which Is a comparativelyinexpensive method of disposing of thehuman body, la increasing In favor. Manypeople are rebelling against tha foolishtradition which prescribes that tha relatives of the dead must impoverish themselves In order to manifest their grief. ItIs to be hoped that the movement willfind adherents In increasing numbers.Tha trappings and the suits of woe area rello of barbarism and when they become an extravagance they should beabolished.HARD LICK AND HAHU SENSE.Retailing; m Tale of Woo Increasestbo Teller's Troubles.Saturday Evening PostOne of tha keenest politicians that thiscountry aver produced took a vacation andwent to Europe. At the suggestion offriends whom be met in London ha decidedto secure the services of that useful functionary known aa a "man," a combinationof valet and companion. He reduced theapplicants to one, and was about to complete the negotiations when the fortunateperson began to tell him of his career, hisambitions, opportunities and misfortunes agenuine hard-luck . story. Tha politicianlistened tor a while and then suddenly -Interposed: "I find that I do not want you,"and when pressed for his reason, added: "Inever hire hard-luck people, especially thekind who talk about It"There seem to ba an Injustice In this, andthere doubless Is. At the same time thispolitician was a judge of men or he wouldnot have been a successful politician.Host persons who have achieved successare obliged to listen to hard-luck storiesdespite their efforts to avoid them. Themain reason the modern merchant or manager surrounds himself by an office guard,and protects himself by anterooms andswinging gates, la to escape callers whowant to take up his time by narratives oftnelr mlafcrtunea. 'Every large center of population has Itsarmy of hard-luck sufferers, and amongthem are men of education, man of position, men who are almost but not quite,strong enough to reach success.Their point of view Is out of compass;their bearings are wrong: their attitude Isthat some one who has succeeded mustmake amends for their own shortcomings.Theaa unfortunates are probably the mosthopeleas persons In the world hopeless notso much In their own Ideas as In the possibilities of their reformation.
